The 32nd match of the IPL 2024 season will take place today, April 17, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals. This match will see a showdown between Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant.
Gujarat Titans, coming off a victory against Rajasthan, will be looking to carry their momentum into this match. With confidence on their side, they might present a tough challenge for Delhi. However, Delhi Capitals haven’t been in the best form this season, which means Gujarat’s task of defeating them might not be impossible.
Pitch Conditions
The match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the pitch is expected to favor batsmen. The outfield is also quite fast, indicating the possibility of a high-scoring encounter. Boundaries are expected to be frequent, although fast bowlers might find some assistance.
On this pitch, spinners may not find much help initially. However, if the match is played on a red soil pitch, spinners could play a crucial role. Despite the large size of the ground, runs tend to flow freely here.
